FOX analyst Troy Aikman has been very critical of Jerry Jones as of late and has not been afraid to call out the Dallas Cowboys’ organization for how they’ve handled certain situations over the years.
The former star quarterback had a strong response to Jerry Jones’ handling of Jason Garrett.
Aikman spoke to Mike Doocy of Fox 4 regarding the Cowboys finally firing Garrett but still interviewing other candidates before actually announcing that move.
He said it speaks to the “dysfunction” within the franchise.
“He committed everything he had to the organization and to doing the best job that he could,” Aikman told Mike Doocy of Fox 4. “He made it a priority, and he committed himself. Breakups are always hard. We all understand that at whatever level that they occur, but I don’t know that after all that he gave and committed to this organization that he received the same in return. When the organization was unwilling, for whatever reasons, and I don’t know the back stories to it all, but when the organization was unwilling to come out publicly and say that, ‘We are seeking a new coach,’ and yet at the same time, reports are coming out that they’re interviewing potential new candidates for the head coaching position, that’s disappointing. I think in a lot of ways it shines a light on some of the dysfunction, if you will, within the organization and kind of how they got to the point that they’re in now.”
The Cowboys had interviewed two head coaching candidates in Mike McCarthy and Marvin Lewis, settling on McCarthy less than 24 hours after firing Garrett.

Whatever the case might be, the Cowboys are substantially better now with a different coach.
